With every new generation of cellular technology comes the 4 big questions:
1) When will it happen?
2) How much will the handsets cost?
3) What is the “killer app”?
4) How will operators monetize and justify our investments?
It’s a chicken and egg scenario…the answer remains to be seen.
However, what is clear is that while the focus is primarily on the fancy use cases and applications, the less glamorous leading indicators of a successful evolution of a generational change in technology are often overlooked. These indicators include: network infrastructure, device to cloud analytics, spectrum allocation and a well-designed RF Front End (RFFE).

US telecommunications equipment maker CommScope will acquire Arris, in a $7.4B deal valued at $5.69 billion, with the difference comprised of CommScope’s assumption of Arris’s debt. As part of the deal, the Carlyle Group will make a $1M equity investment in CommScope for an approximate 16% stake in the new company.
CommScope’s CEO Eddie Edwards has claimed the two companies’ product lines are complementary, and that the combined company will “enable end-to-end wired and wireless communications infrastructure solutions that neither company could otherwise achieve on its own.”
The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2019.

In recent years, the medium-voltage (MV) motor market has contracted due to the oil and gas crisis that lowered oil prices, which resulted in curtailed investment in MV motors globally. However, going forward this trend is forecast to begin reversing. As prices for oil and gas rise in 2018 and 2019 to levels more in line with their historical averages, pent-up capital expenditure (CAPEX) is expected to return, which will lead to higher demand for MV motors across all regions. This spending will result in a boon to industries adjacent to oil and gas operations as well and will result in manufacturers expanding the capabilities of their motors in order to meet demand.

This Market Brief provides a general picture of trends affecting the medium-voltage motor market from sources such as the IHS Markit Industrial Automation Equipment Market Tracker, the Capital Equipment Market Tracker, and Machinery Production Market Tracker.
